[Dovecot] SSL and login_process_per_connection = no

[Chris Wakelin]

Just thought I'd check, but is the combination of SSL and
"login_process_per_connection = no" expected?

I'm wondering, because imap_login is doing the SSL-proxying, and in our
live Dovecot instance we have "login_process_per_connection = no" (we
had problems with authentication and running out of file descriptors
early on, now fixed by using userdb = passwd-file rather than NIS).

This combination seems to work OK in 1.0-beta1, except I just got
disconnected with a log entry:

Warning: imap-login: SSL_write() syscall failed: Bad file number [<IP
address>]

which I've never seen before (though I've been testing this with alpha5
 for weeks).

Best Wishes,
Chris
